Santorum Marriage Built on Strong Foundationof Gay Loathing

Mary Letourneau and Vili Fualaau. Jennifer Wilbanks and John Mason. Rick and Karen Santorum. Their marriages, present and/or future, are in jeopardy...

New York Times: "When I asked [Rick Santorum] if he viewed gay marriage as a threat to his own marriage, he answered quickly. 'Yes, absolutely,' he said. 'It threatens my marriage. It threatens all marriages.'"

It sounds like overblown rhetoric, but think about it. Already, most straight men don't like to hold hands with other men, because it's considered a gay thing. Same with owning small fussy dogs , or throwing Oscars parties, or trolling the Internet for Brazilian tranny-porn. Even soliciting young men in chatrooms for anonymous gay sex is now considered gay -- especially, in a particularly galling double standard, if you're a Republican politician . So make no mistake about it. There's no such thing as "a little gay marriage." Once marriage goes gay, it's gonna be gayer than a tea party at Elton John's house. Same with divorce. In fact, straight marriage is probably already doomed, but thanks for taking a stand, Rick.— GREG BEATO
